Tether Tools Empowering Image Makers Through Connectivity, Collaboration, and Creativity
Connect
Our first product introduced in 2008, the Tether Table Aero, has a long, rich history. Crafted out of a need for photographers to have a professional, secure workstation when shooting out in the field or in studio, the Tether Table Aero provides a stable portable tethering platform.
Since then, Tether Tools has worked to design and manufacture tools that expand the possibilities of photographers, videographers, and creatives in all fields. It’s why we’re here, it’s the beating heart of our business. Our tools are used by creatives across the globe as an essential piece of their workflow and safety on set. And for that we couldn’t be prouder.
Collaborate
Back in the pre-digital days, photographers relied on Polaroid’s to capture an image before a shoot was committed to film. The images would be captured, film stored and processed in the dark room, negatives stored and secured. The advent of digital imaging revolutionized photography and with it, the workflow and process, automation, computing and personal devices have taken a much larger role in the way we work. Out of necessity comes innovation.
Tether Tools strives to create quality products that empower control of your gear to meet your vision. To help photographers and filmmakers connect their camera digitally, collaborate with their team in-studio or on location, and to create incredible pieces of work.
